My experience with lifelong learning

Ever since I started my professional career I have been taking the time to develop myself and work on new skills. Allocating that time is getting harder and harder while there are more things to learn every day!

Just take a look at the Microsoft Certified exams – each year a new batch is introduced, you will always find something in beta about some new exciting technology.

When it comes to learning for a long time I felt bad… While a lot of people say you should allocate time regularly for learning, I failed at this the week I started – it seems not to be a good option for me!

Instead – I started doing bursts of learning – and I am happy to sit down 14 hours in a row with minimal breaks getting deep in a subject and doing this on a fairly regular schedule, but not in a pre-planned fashion.

If you are in similar shoes – don’t give in to common practices – do as you feel suits you best, just make sure you see results that satisfy your development needs!
